@geordie57 , Pilates is a recommended form of exercise as it concentrates on core strength and the major joints. Yoga is also good for stretching. The physio should be able to identify any muscle groups which are under-performing and recommend specific basic exercises to address.

I do yoga at least once a week and it does make a difference to how achy I am and how flexible, it also helps hugely with sleep, after an evening class I can happily come home and go straight to bed for a very deep sleep!
